By Swami Harshananda

Buddhism literally means ‘religious principles and doctrines taught by Buddha’.

‘Buddhism’ is the general name given by post-Buddha historians to the religious principles, practices, doctrines and dogmas of the followers of Gautama Buddha. Though what Buddha taught might be regarded as a cleansing or reformation of the religion of his times, gradually his teachings have attained a distinctive character of their own. Hence they deserve the appellation ‘Buddhism’ or ‘Buddha-mata’ or ‘Bauddha-dharma’.

The four noble truths,<ref>Four truths are called as catvāri āryasatyāni.</ref> and the eightfold noble path<ref>Eight truths are called ārya-aṣṭāṅgika-mārga.</ref> form the core of Buddhism. Ahiṃsā or non-injury or non-violence is a cardinal ethical principle. It emphasizes greatly that monastic life is a means to nirvāṇa<ref>Nirvaṇa means liberation.</ref> and Buddha-hood.

During the second Buddhist Council held at Vaiśāli<ref>It is now a village called as Basarh located in Bihar.</ref> about a 100 years after the demise of Buddha, there was a split in the ranks of the Buddhists. The conservatives came to be known as the Sthaviravādis or Theravādis. The rest came to be called the Mahāsāṅghikas.

These two groups gradually evolved the Hīnayāna and the Mahāyāna schools. The former stressed individual nirvāṇa as the goal of life. The latter stressed compassion in addition, so that all can be helped in their attempts to obtain nirvāṇa. Mahāyāna flourished in China, Japan and Tibet. Hīnayāna spread in Srī Lañkā, Myanmar (Burma) and some South East Asian countries.

In course of time, buddhism also developed four schools of philosophy. Philosophical works on these schools were written both in Pālī and Sanskrit languages. These schools are:
# The Mādhyamika or Śunyavāda
# The Yogācāra or Vijñānavāda
# The Sautrāntika
# The Vaibhāṣika

Sahar Aziz is a Professor at Rutgers University Law School<ref>[https://law.rutgers.edu/directory/view/8277 Sahar Aziz page at University website] April 15, 2024</ref><ref>[https://law.rutgers.edu/bio/sa1356/cv Sahar Aziz Link to CV published on university website] April 15, 2024</ref><ref>[https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=2jOzSf4AAAAJ&hl=en&oi=sra Google Scholar results for citations for Sahar Aziz] April 15, 2024</ref> as of April 2024. According to her university profile, her scholarship examines the intersection of national security, race, religion, and civil rights with a focus on the adverse impact of national security laws and policies on racial, religious, and ethnic minorities.

As per her CV and per Google Scholar, she has published no papers or research as pertaining to Hindus, rights of Hindus, impact or relationship between Islam and Hinduism / Hindutva, India, or the Indian Government.

In 2021, she along with Hibatullah Akhundzada, the supreme leader of the Taliban, co-signed a letter supporting "Dismantling Global Hindutva" Conference, as an academic and scholar and made the allegation

<blockquote>"the current government of India [in 2021] has instituted discriminatory policies including beef bans, restrictions on religious conversion and interfaith weddings, and the introduction of religious discrimination into India’s citizenship laws. The result has been a horrifying rise in religious and caste-based violence, including hate crimes, lynchings, and rapes directed against Muslims, non-conforming Dalits, Sikhs, Christians, adivasis and other dissident Hindus. Women of these communities are especially targeted. Meanwhile, the government has used every tool of harassment and intimidation to muzzle dissent. Dozens of student activists and human rights defenders are currently languishing in jail indefinitely without due process under repressive anti-terrorism laws."

#:The author's narrative demonstrates a concerning insensitivity to the profound struggles and historical experiences of the people of India as she continues to denigrate a historical King who is still celebrated today despite hundreds of years of attempts to destroy him and his image by Muslims first and then later the British followed by academics perpetuating colonial narratives.
#:Audrey also feels that she is qualified to tell Hindus how to depict their Deities and how they should evolve over time.:
#::*"Hindutva advocates have little to say about British colonialism, a brutal period of Indian history, because doing so does not serve their political purposes today."
#::*"But, the Hindutva Ram is different; he is a rallying cry for right-wing Hindus to express an identity as a strong, martial race. The Hindutva Ram who is featured on posters even looks markedly different, notably far more aggressive as compared to standard religious depictions of Ram"

Audrey Truschke is Associate Professor of History and Director, Asian Studies at Rutgers University<ref>[https://sasn.rutgers.edu/about-us/faculty-staff/audrey-truschke Audrey Truschke page on Rutgers University] accessed October 8, 2022</ref> as of October 2022.

In 2021, she along with Hibatullah Akhundzada, the supreme leader of the Taliban, co-signed a letter supporting "Dismantling Global Hindutva" Conference, as an academic and scholar and made the allegation
<Blockquote> "the current government of India [in 2021] has instituted discriminatory policies including beef bans, restrictions on religious conversion and interfaith weddings, and the introduction of religious discrimination into India’s citizenship laws.

#:In this article Audrey Truschke distorts the idea about what Hindutva or Hinduism is, spreads misinformation about the Hindus, and makes derogatory remarks on Hinduism.
#:Audrey begins by imposing her own definitions of Hindutva and Hinduism and tries to delegitimize the voice of Hindus:
#::*"Hindu nationalism or Hindutva—a fascist ideology that advocates Hindu supremacy, especially over Muslims—champions an outlandish vision of how scientific modernity flourished in early India; this is part of a larger agenda to rewrite the Indian past to serve present-day political interests."
#::*"In terms of specifics, Hindutva followers conceive of Hindu identity as having little to do with faith.... Rather, in Hindutva thought, Hindu-ness (the literal meaning of Hindutva) is a sort of martial machismo rooted in a shared cultural background that stretches back to time immemorial."
#:The author's narrative demonstrates a concerning insensitivity to the profound struggles and historical experiences of the people of India as she continues to denigrate a historical King who is still celebrated today despite hundreds of years of attempts to destroy him and his image by Muslims first and then later the British followed by academics perpetuating colonial narratives.
#:Audrey also feels that she is qualified to tell Hindus how to depict their Deities and how they should evolve over time.:
#::*"Hindutva advocates have little to say about British colonialism, a brutal period of Indian history, because doing so does not serve their political purposes today."
#::*"But, the Hindutva Ram is different; he is a rallying cry for right-wing Hindus to express an identity as a strong, martial race. The Hindutva Ram who is featured on posters even looks markedly different, notably far more aggressive as compared to standard religious depictions of Ram"

#::*Such as RSS controlling the government of India "Hindutva ahistoricity has accelerated since the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)—which embraces Hindutva as part of its platform—took over India’s central government in 2014. The championing of Hindutva myths about the past has also expanded out from social media and political environments, two contexts hardly known for their devotion to accuracy, into academic circles. Hindu nationalists have become more brazen in introducing ahistorical claims into school textbooks, as discussed at the end of this article."
#::*"Hindutva ideologues want Hindus alone to be indigenous to India so that this one social group can define what it means to be Indian and can exclude others from this category. They exclude as non-Indian many groups who have long been part of life and society on the subcontinent, above all Muslims."
#::*"While giving the British a pass, Hindu nationalists blame seemingly all wrongs in Indian history on Muslims. In addition to that being hateful and incorrect, it is notable that Hindu nationalists rarely distinguish between groups of Muslims, whether past versus present, or those with political power versus those without, and so forth. Since Hindutva ideology seeks Hindu supremacy, the enemy that serves as their foil must be constructed as equally flat and politically homogenous in its identity."
#: Audrey then writes irrelevant claims and misguides academics from her argument by talking about origin of Man:
#::*"For Hindutva followers, one critical aspect of what it means to be “Hindu,” in the peculiar way that they define that term, is to be indigenous to India. Immediately, then, we have a historical problem, since, if one goes back far enough, no group is originally from India."
#:The author completely disregard the edict from the Supreme Court of India of a case that has been going on for 100 years, about 'Ram Mandir of Ayodhya'<ref>[https://www.legalserviceindia.com/legal/article-6481-2019-supreme-court-verdict-on-ayodhya-dispute.html#:~:text=The%20dispute%20came%20to%20end%20by%20the%20verdict,prominent%20site%20in%20Ayodhya%20to%20built%20a%20mosque. 2019 Supreme Court Verdict On Ayodhya Dispute] accessed on July 26, 2024</ref> and states that "The new Ram Mandir in Ayodhya celebrates this violent exercise of Hindu supremacy, in which a modern myth about the past can justify the mass slaughter of Muslims."

Krishna Maheshwari: /* Individuals fraudulently signing as an academic or scholar */

The Dismantling Global Hinduva Conference was a virtual conference that took place September 10-12, 2021. It had 9 sessions over these 3 days<ref>[https://dismantlinghindutva.com/ Dismantling Global Hindutva Conference Website] Accessed 11/20/21</ref>:
# What Is Global Hindutva
# The Political Economy of Hindutva
# Caste and Hindutva
# Gender and Sexual Politics of Hindutva
# Contours of the Nation
# Hindutva, Science, and Healthcare
# Hindutva Propaganda and the Digital Ecosystem
# Hinduism and Hindutva
# Islamophobia, White Supremacy, and Hindutva

It was officially described by the organizers on their website as:
<blockquote>This conference brings together scholars of South Asia specializing in gender, economics, political science, caste, religion, healthcare, and media in order to try to understand the complex and multi-faceted phenomenon of Hindutva.

This conference will convene panels on a variety of interlinked topics that address the threat and power of Hindutva. Scholars, journalists, and activists will examine the historical development of Hindutva, the fascist dimensions of the ideology, its alignment with other supremacist movements and define all that is at stake across a range of political, socio-cultural, and economic issues. We also aim for the conference to be a space for examining the history of dissent and resistance against Hindutva. Dalit and Feminist traditions have long resisted the singular narrative of Hinduism adopted by Hindu Supremacists. A broader coalition of activists from progressive communities have mobilized to enable both material and ideological divestment from Hindutva. Drawing inspiration from such collectivities, we expect to develop resources for anti-Hindutva pedagogy and organizing in educational and cultural institutions everywhere.
</blockquote>

Yet, the same organizers explicitly discussed the need to dismantle Hinduism within the conference

Ohio State Senator Niraj Antani described the conference as
<blockquote>This conference represents a disgusting attack on Hindus across the United States, and we must all condemn this as nothing more than racism and bigotry against Hindus. I will always stand strong against Hinduphobia.” <ref>[https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/nri/us-canada-news/dismantling-global-hindutva-conference-anti-hindu-us-state-senator/articleshow/85823267.cms ‘Dismantling Global Hindutva' conference anti-Hindu: US State Senator], 9/1/2021, Times of India Accessed 11/20/21</ref></blockquote>

Audrey Truschke is Associate Professor of History and Director, Asian Studies at Rutgers University<ref>[https://sasn.rutgers.edu/about-us/faculty-staff/audrey-truschke Audrey Truschke page on Rutgers University] accessed October 8, 2022</ref> as of October 2022. She is also a member of the South Asia Scholar Activist Collective and a contributor to the "Hindutva Harassment Field Manual." According to her university profile, her research focuses on the cultural, imperial, and intellectual history of early modern and modern India (c. 1500-present).

In 2021, she along with Hibatullah Akhundzada, the supreme leader of the Taliban, co-signed a letter supporting "Dismantling Global Hindutva" Conference, as an academic and scholar and made the allegation
<Blockquote> "the current government of India [in 2021] has instituted discriminatory policies including beef bans, restrictions on religious conversion and interfaith weddings, and the introduction of religious discrimination into India’s citizenship laws. The result has been a horrifying rise in religious and caste-based violence, including hate crimes, lynchings, and rapes directed against Muslims, non-conforming Dalits, Sikhs, Christians, adivasis and other dissident Hindus. Women of these communities are especially targeted. Meanwhile, the government has used every tool of harassment and intimidation to muzzle dissent. Dozens of student activists and human rights defenders are currently languishing in jail indefinitely without due process under repressive anti-terrorism laws."<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220520173847/https://dismantlinghindutva.com/academics-in-solidarity/ "Letter of Support"], [https://web.archive.org/web/20220808124933/https://dismantlinghindutva.com/ Dismantling Global Hindutva Conference website], accessed August 7, 2022</ref></Blockquote>

#:In this article Audrey Truschke distorts the idea about what Hindutva or Hinduism is, spreads misinformation about the Hindus, and makes derogatory remarks on Hinduism.
#:Audrey begins by imposing her own definitions of Hindutva and Hinduism and tries to delegitimize the voice of Hindus:
#::*"Hindu nationalism or Hindutva—a fascist ideology that advocates Hindu supremacy, especially over Muslims—champions an outlandish vision of how scientific modernity flourished in early India; this is part of a larger agenda to rewrite the Indian past to serve present-day political interests."
#::*"In terms of specifics, Hindutva followers conceive of Hindu identity as having little to do with faith.... Rather, in Hindutva thought, Hindu-ness (the literal meaning of Hindutva) is a sort of martial machismo rooted in a shared cultural background that stretches back to time immemorial."
#:The author's narrative demonstrates a concerning insensitivity to the profound struggles and historical experiences of the people of India as she continues to denigrate a historical King who is still celebrated today despite hundreds of years of attempts to destroy him and his image by Muslims first and then later the British followed by academics perpetuating colonial narratives.
#:Audrey also feels that she is qualified to tell Hindus how to depict their deities and how they should evolve over time.:
#::*"Hindutva advocates have little to say about British colonialism, a brutal period of Indian history, because doing so does not serve their political purposes today."
#::*"But, the Hindutva Ram is different; he is a rallying cry for right-wing Hindus to express an identity as a strong, martial race. The Hindutva Ram who is featured on posters even looks markedly different, notably far more aggressive as compared to standard religious depictions of Ram"

#::*Such as RSS controlling the government of India "Hindutva ahistoricity has accelerated since the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)—which embraces Hindutva as part of its platform—took over India’s central government in 2014. The championing of Hindutva myths about the past has also expanded out from social media and political environments, two contexts hardly known for their devotion to accuracy, into academic circles. Hindu nationalists have become more brazen in introducing ahistorical claims into school textbooks, as discussed at the end of this article."
#::*"Hindutva ideologues want Hindus alone to be indigenous to India so that this one social group can define what it means to be Indian and can exclude others from this category. They exclude as non-Indian many groups who have long been part of life and society on the subcontinent, above all Muslims."
#::*"While giving the British a pass, Hindu nationalists blame seemingly all wrongs in Indian history on Muslims. In addition to that being hateful and incorrect, it is notable that Hindu nationalists rarely distinguish between groups of Muslims, whether past versus present, or those with political power versus those without, and so forth. Since Hindutva ideology seeks Hindu supremacy, the enemy that serves as their foil must be constructed as equally flat and politically homogenous in its identity."
#: Audrey then writes irrelevant claims and misguides academics from her argument by talking about origin of Man:
#::*"For Hindutva followers, one critical aspect of what it means to be “Hindu,” in the peculiar way that they define that term, is to be indigenous to India. Immediately, then, we have a historical problem, since, if one goes back far enough, no group is originally from India."
#:The author completely disregard the edict from the Supreme Court of India of a case that has been going on for 100 years, about 'Ram Mandir of Ayodhya'<ref>[https://www.legalserviceindia.com/legal/article-6481-2019-supreme-court-verdict-on-ayodhya-dispute.html#:~:text=The%20dispute%20came%20to%20end%20by%20the%20verdict,prominent%20site%20in%20Ayodhya%20to%20built%20a%20mosque. 2019 Supreme Court Verdict On Ayodhya Dispute] accessed on July 26, 2024</ref> and states that "The new Ram Mandir in Ayodhya celebrates this violent exercise of Hindu supremacy, in which a modern myth about the past can justify the mass slaughter of Muslims."

Audrey Truschke is Associate Professor of History and Director, Asian Studies at Rutgers University<ref>[https://sasn.rutgers.edu/about-us/faculty-staff/audrey-truschke Audrey Truschke page on Rutgers University] accessed October 8, 2022</ref> as of October 2022. She is also a member of the South Asia Scholar Activist Collective and a contributor to the "Hindutva Harassment Field Manual." According to her university profile, her research focuses on the cultural, imperial, and intellectual history of early modern and modern India (c. 1500-present).

In 2021, she along with Hibatullah Akhundzada, the supreme leader of the Taliban, co-signed a letter supporting "Dismantling Global Hindutva" Conference, as an academic and scholar and made the allegation
<Blockquote> "the current government of India [in 2021] has instituted discriminatory policies including beef bans, restrictions on religious conversion and interfaith weddings, and the introduction of religious discrimination into India’s citizenship laws. The result has been a horrifying rise in religious and caste-based violence, including hate crimes, lynchings, and rapes directed against Muslims, non-conforming Dalits, Sikhs, Christians, adivasis and other dissident Hindus. Women of these communities are especially targeted. Meanwhile, the government has used every tool of harassment and intimidation to muzzle dissent. Dozens of student activists and human rights defenders are currently languishing in jail indefinitely without due process under repressive anti-terrorism laws."<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220520173847/https://dismantlinghindutva.com/academics-in-solidarity/ "Letter of Support"], [https://web.archive.org/web/20220808124933/https://dismantlinghindutva.com/ Dismantling Global Hindutva Conference website], accessed August 7, 2022</ref></Blockquote>

#:In this article Audrey Truschke distorts the idea about what Hindutva or Hinduism is, spreads misinformation about the Hindus, and makes derogatory remarks on Hinduism.
#:Audrey begins by imposing her own definitions of Hindutva and Hinduism and tries to delegitimize the voice of Hindus:
#::*"Hindu nationalism or Hindutva—a fascist ideology that advocates Hindu supremacy, especially over Muslims—champions an outlandish vision of how scientific modernity flourished in early India; this is part of a larger agenda to rewrite the Indian past to serve present-day political interests."
#::*"In terms of specifics, Hindutva followers conceive of Hindu identity as having little to do with faith.... Rather, in Hindutva thought, Hindu-ness (the literal meaning of Hindutva) is a sort of martial machismo rooted in a shared cultural background that stretches back to time immemorial."
#:The author's narrative demonstrates a concerning insensitivity to the profound struggles and historical experiences of the people of India as she continues to denigrate a historical King who is still celebrated today despite hundreds of years of attempts to destroy him and his image by Muslims first and then later the British followed by academics.
#:Audrey also feels that she is qualified to tell Hindus how to depict their deities and how they should evolve over time.:
#::*"Hindutva advocates have little to say about British colonialism, a brutal period of Indian history, because doing so does not serve their political purposes today."
#::*"But, the Hindutva Ram is different; he is a rallying cry for right-wing Hindus to express an identity as a strong, martial race. The Hindutva Ram who is featured on posters even looks markedly different, notably far more aggressive as compared to standard religious depictions of Ram"

#::*Such as RSS controlling the government of India "Hindutva ahistoricity has accelerated since the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)—which embraces Hindutva as part of its platform—took over India’s central government in 2014. The championing of Hindutva myths about the past has also expanded out from social media and political environments, two contexts hardly known for their devotion to accuracy, into academic circles. Hindu nationalists have become more brazen in introducing ahistorical claims into school textbooks, as discussed at the end of this article."
#::*"Hindutva ideologues want Hindus alone to be indigenous to India so that this one social group can define what it means to be Indian and can exclude others from this category. They exclude as non-Indian many groups who have long been part of life and society on the subcontinent, above all Muslims."
#::*"While giving the British a pass, Hindu nationalists blame seemingly all wrongs in Indian history on Muslims. In addition to that being hateful and incorrect, it is notable that Hindu nationalists rarely distinguish between groups of Muslims, whether past versus present, or those with political power versus those without, and so forth. Since Hindutva ideology seeks Hindu supremacy, the enemy that serves as their foil must be constructed as equally flat and politically homogenous in its identity."
#: Audrey then writes irrelevant claims and misguides academics from her argument by talking about origin of Man:
#::*"For Hindutva followers, one critical aspect of what it means to be “Hindu,” in the peculiar way that they define that term, is to be indigenous to India. Immediately, then, we have a historical problem, since, if one goes back far enough, no group is originally from India."
#:The author completely disregard the edict from the Supreme Court of India of a case that has been going on for 100 years, about 'Ram Mandir of Ayodhya'<ref>[https://www.legalserviceindia.com/legal/article-6481-2019-supreme-court-verdict-on-ayodhya-dispute.html#:~:text=The%20dispute%20came%20to%20end%20by%20the%20verdict,prominent%20site%20in%20Ayodhya%20to%20built%20a%20mosque. 2019 Supreme Court Verdict On Ayodhya Dispute] accessed on July 26, 2024</ref> and states that "The new Ram Mandir in Ayodhya celebrates this violent exercise of Hindu supremacy, in which a modern myth about the past can justify the mass slaughter of Muslims."

Sahar Aziz is a Professor at Rutgers University Law School<ref>[https://law.rutgers.edu/directory/view/8277 Sahar Aziz page at University website] April 15, 2024</ref><ref>[https://law.rutgers.edu/bio/sa1356/cv Sahar Aziz Link to CV published on university website] April 15, 2024</ref><ref>[https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=2jOzSf4AAAAJ&hl=en&oi=sra Google Scholar results for citations for Sahar Aziz] April 15, 2024</ref> as of April 2024. According to her university profile, her scholarship examines the intersection of national security, race, religion, and civil rights with a focus on the adverse impact of national security laws and policies on racial, religious, and ethnic minorities.

As per her CV and per Google Scholar, she has published no papers or research as pertaining to Hindus, rights of Hindus, impact or relationship between Islam and Hinduism / Hindutva, India, or the Indian Government.

In 2021, she along with Hibatullah Akhundzada, the supreme leader of the Taliban, co-signed a letter supporting "Dismantling Global Hindutva" Conference, as an academic and scholar and made the allegation

<blockquote>"the current government of India [in 2021] has instituted discriminatory policies including beef bans, restrictions on religious conversion and interfaith weddings, and the introduction of religious discrimination into India’s citizenship laws.

Krishna Maheshwari: /* Academics supporting the conferenceAcademics supporting Dismantling Global Hindutva conference accessed Sept 21, 2021 */

The Dismantling Global Hinduva Conference was a virtual conference that took place September 10-12, 2021. It had 9 sessions over these 3 days<ref>[https://dismantlinghindutva.com/ Dismantling Global Hindutva Conference Website] Accessed 11/20/21</ref>:
# What Is Global Hindutva
# The Political Economy of Hindutva
# Caste and Hindutva
# Gender and Sexual Politics of Hindutva
# Contours of the Nation
# Hindutva, Science, and Healthcare
# Hindutva Propaganda and the Digital Ecosystem
# Hinduism and Hindutva
# Islamophobia, White Supremacy, and Hindutva

It was officially described by the organizers on their website as:
<blockquote>This conference brings together scholars of South Asia specializing in gender, economics, political science, caste, religion, healthcare, and media in order to try to understand the complex and multi-faceted phenomenon of Hindutva.

This conference will convene panels on a variety of interlinked topics that address the threat and power of Hindutva. Scholars, journalists, and activists will examine the historical development of Hindutva, the fascist dimensions of the ideology, its alignment with other supremacist movements and define all that is at stake across a range of political, socio-cultural, and economic issues. We also aim for the conference to be a space for examining the history of dissent and resistance against Hindutva. Dalit and Feminist traditions have long resisted the singular narrative of Hinduism adopted by Hindu Supremacists. A broader coalition of activists from progressive communities have mobilized to enable both material and ideological divestment from Hindutva. Drawing inspiration from such collectivities, we expect to develop resources for anti-Hindutva pedagogy and organizing in educational and cultural institutions everywhere.
</blockquote>

Yet, the same organizers explicitly discussed the need to dismantle Hinduism within the conference

Ohio State Senator Niraj Antani described the conference as
<blockquote>This conference represents a disgusting attack on Hindus across the United States, and we must all condemn this as nothing more than racism and bigotry against Hindus. I will always stand strong against Hinduphobia.” <ref>[https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/nri/us-canada-news/dismantling-global-hindutva-conference-anti-hindu-us-state-senator/articleshow/85823267.cms ‘Dismantling Global Hindutva' conference anti-Hindu: US State Senator], 9/1/2021, Times of India Accessed 11/20/21</ref></blockquote>

Hanuman Chalisa

2025-07-29T10:45:47Z

Krishna Maheshwari:

By Saint [[Tulsi das]] 
[[Category:Stotra]]
Translated by [[User:P.R.Ramachander|P. R. Ramachander]]

[[image:Hanuman Chalisa.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Chart of Hanuman Chalisa.]]

[[Hanuman]] Chalisa, written by Tulsidas, finds [[a]] place in every home where it acts as a panacea for all problems, be they physical, mental or spiritual. It is a prayer addressed To [[Hanuman]], possibly the greatest character Of [[Ramayana]], next only to [[Rama]] and Sita.

Lord [[Hanuman]] was born to [[Anjana]]. He is an incarnation of [[Lord Shiva]] and the son of Lord [[Vayu]]. As [[a]] baby, when his mother advised to him to eat any fruit which is purple, he jumped towards the rising Sun God. [[Indra]] hit him with his [[Vajra]] to save the sun. [[Hanuman]] fell down in a coma. [[Vayu]] his father took his child away and hid in a cave. Because of this all beings on the earth, who were depending on [[Vayu]] to breath started dying. All the gods entreated Lord Vayu, not to be angry and gave Baby Hanuman, several boons.

Later in life Hanuman became a friend of Sugreeva, the younger brother of Vali. Vali started tormenting Sugreeva due to some misunderstanding. Because of this Sugreeva was forced to hide in Rishya mooka mountains. Sri [[Rama]] and Lakshmana reached this mountain in search of Sita who was stolen by Ravana. Hanuman met them and was instrumental in getting a treaty signed between Sri [[Rama]] and Sugreeva.

Sri [[Rama]] killed Vali and made Sugreeva the king of monkeys. Even at the first meeting Lord Hanuman became charmed by the personality of Sri Rama and became his devotee. As per the treaty, he went in search of Sita, to the south along with a big army of monkeys. He crossed the sea and brought back the news of Sita’s well being to Rama. Later before the war, he requested Rama to have a treaty with Vibheeshana the brother of Ravana.

During the war between Rama and Ravana he played a very major role. When [[Indrajit]], the son of Ravana, killed Lakshmana, he brought the Sanjivini Mountain and saved Lakshmana.

He was considered as a brother by [[Lord Rama]] and son by Goddess Sita. It is believed that he is a Chiranjeevi, and is still alive. It is also believed that wherever, the story of [[Ramayana]] is told, he would be present in his invisible form to listen to the story.

Saint Thulasi Das who was a great admirer of Hanuman, also wrote these forty verses praising Hanuman and called it “[[Hanuman Chalisa]]”. This is possibly the most popular [[Hindu]] prayer written in Hindi. Its extreme simplicity makes it dear to every one’s heart.

Sri Guru charana saroja raj,
Nija mana mukura sudhar,
Varanau Raghuvara vimala yasa,
Jo dayaka phala char.

Having cleaned the mirror of my [[mind]], 
With the lotus like feet of my teacher, 
I describe the unsullied fame of [[Lord Rama]], 
Which would give me the four fold wealth. 

Budhi heena thanu jaani ke,
Sumeerou pavana kumar,
[[Bala]] budhi vidhya dehu moheem,
Harau klesa vikar.

Though I am one without any brain, 
I place in my mind, the son of wind, 
And pray to him earnestly to give me, 
Wisdom, knowledge and strength, 
And steal away from me all my miseries.
